My question, Facebook likes constantly changing, was closed because it was ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form:

I rewrote the question with that in mind, and it was closed as being a 'Possible Duplicate'

But the question it's a duplicate of cannot be answered because it's closed.

Is there somebody kind enough to open it?

    Even though the other question is closed, you can still edit it. You should do that and request it to be re-opened rather than creating a new question.

  • Thanks, Al. I did that, and I in the 'reason for edit' field I made a request that the thread be re-opened -- is that the correct place to request it's reopened?

  • Users can vote to re-open questions. You would be well-served to leave a comment on the question that you've made edits. There's not always a lot of momentum for re-open votes, so if you're not getting any traction that way you can flag the question for a Moderator.

The new question wasn't sufficiently different from the original.

You should have edited/rewritten your original question and flagged that for moderator attention. We would have reviewed the edits and decided whether it was a better question. If it was it would have been reopened.
